Chapter 322: Blinding Light vs Petrify! Doomsday!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Just when an Angel Faction party was about to enter the pre-planned ambush ring, another party from the Demon Faction’s appearance caused the whole party to be in full on alert mode. Needless to say, the twenty-odd numbers of people hiding behind the tomb were furious by this unexpected appearance as this means that their plan was thwarted. As the hidden ones fumed at the unwelcome guests, they secretly cursed that the whole party would be killed off by the Angel Faction party.

The Bowmaster who first detected their arrival, however, thought otherwise…

Literally one second before they came, the information on the Angel Faction party’s giant monster was replayed in his mind. He felt this immediate unprecedented chill run through his body.

Tier 5 Miniboss!

‘This has got to be a joke…’

It was incomprehensible how such a terrifying “weapon” could exist in a player’s party.

Following that discovery, the Bowmaster saw the female player party leader—a Radiant Priest! Once again he was lost in his thoughts.

The Radiant Priest was one of the Classes that was in the top of the bounty list as jointly requested by the Demon faction’s four major leagues and its twenty clans. That very Class was right in front of his eyes, in a party that was in the possession of a Tier 5 Miniboss.

His heart dropped at this realization as he dejectedly withdrew behind the tomb. Uneasily, he turned to an expectant Zephyr Swordmaster to break the news.

“Brother Kai, things are not looking good.”He went on to explain what he witnessed to everyone, which was followed by a unison gasp.

“Tier 5 Miniboss?”

“That’s insane! What a lucky summoner! With such a low success rate to seal one, he actually managed to get one?”

“I can’t even seal a Tier 4 Miniboss, they are obviously overpowered!”

“Cut the crap!”

The guy called Brother Kai glared coldly at the few who made a fuss about this.

The Bowmaster ignored them and said, “I think that the main point here is the Bauhinia Clan’s Radiant Priest. Hasn’t Tiger Cub been assassinating Angel Faction’s Radiant Priests? The fact that this Radiant Priest is still alive must mean that he was not able to take the party down, imagine how strong they must be!”

“Exactly! Brother Kai, the way that I see it, they must have rushed through the warp portal. With a Tier 5 Miniboss, their party might even have a few Field Commander level players…” One of the party members quipped. Those in the party who were moments earlier just complaining about how there were unwanted guests started to rejoice at this change in the course of their gameplan.

The Zephyr Swordmaster merely gave them a cold, sweeping stare and said, “So what is it that all of you plan to do? Let them get rid of the Miniboss and follow them to the fifth floor of the Graveyard? Based solely on your abilities, do you think you can even step foot on the fifth floor and play with the pros?”

“…”

Dead silence followed his remark.

He was spot on with what they had in mind, but after what the Zephyr Swordmaster said, they were instantly hit by the harsh reality that they were obviously not strong enough to go to the fifth floor of the Graveyard of the Gods. Even on the fourth floor they had to stick together tightly, depending only on sneak attacks to deal with Angel Faction parties. If it were the fifth floor, when confronting champion parties that have formed teams, who could they even band together with? In the end, they were only rookies who would be slaughtered mercilessly.

“What do we do now?”

Brother Kai walked to one side of the tomb, glanced furtively at the battle that had already broken out between the two parties and curled his lips into a sneer.

“Let them go all out… we’ll join in soon enough.”

As he drew his head back from the battle scene, he let out a slight snort…

Just a moment ago! It felt as if there was someone watching him. Was it just his imagination?

“Two batches of people? Haha! That’s great! Leave the small fries to me and the Subjugator. There are more people there, we’ll let you guys deal with them. Let’s have a competition shall we?” Steel Dude lowered his voice and said provokingly to Qin Ruo and some other people before splitting up with the party.

“Hah! It’s on!”

Upon hearing the challenge, Black Rock became excited.

“There’s no need to utilize the Amethyst Orc, that would be against the rules! Qin Ruo’s level is low so he can use Pets!” Steel Dude added on immediately. If there was an Amethyst Orc, they would not be able to carry out this competition. It would have been able to rampage its way through, killing all in its path. The scary index of the Amethyst Orc is so much higher than his “Head Crusher”.

“The person who kills the most number of enemies can pick any one person from the party to ask one question.”

“Deal! As long as there’s a bet!”

Fateless, the Bandit killer who sought adrenaline-filled excitement joined the competition.

“Shit! I forgot about Fateless… No can do, Steel Dude stand down, you and Amethyst Orc protect Sister Violet.”

“I have a name you know.”

Judge’s feeble protest was instantaneously muffled.

“Let’s go!”

“Go go go!”

***

Head Crusher Steel Dude!

Subjugator Clan’s Captain Subjugator!

The two powerful warriors blazed toward the ten plus numbers of Demon Faction players…

On this side, Qin Ruo, Black Rock, and Snowleaf paced themselves. With Fateless urging them on, they bounded speedily toward the three tombs clustered together.

The Bowmaster responsible for detecting enemy movements discovered an Aquamancer and a Terramancer, along with a Cryospider, from the Angel Faction party heading toward them. Did they really only send two people from their party?

Several Demon Faction players who bolted out from behind the tombs had looks of exhilaration on their faces…

“Damn, those are some good looking equipment! All of them are Dark Gold tier! Haha! I call first in picking the equipment! I must have those equipment!”

The Demon Faction warrior roared a spirited war cry, pure excitement flooded his face as he hollered at the others with him, “Go! Don’t let them get away!”

The group of warriors gritted their teeth and cursed the lucky guy under their breaths. With much discontentment, they ran towards the two oncoming people…

The Bowmaster responsible for detecting enemy movement and Zephyr Swordmaster “Brother Kai” warily held back at the sight of this oncoming attack.

They quickly scanned through where the attack was coming from…

What they saw were two players fully equipped with Dark Gold equipment, two of them were warriors, headed towards the other batch of Demon Faction party, and their most formidable weapon the Amethyst Orc was not even deployed.

Taking into account all these circumstances, unless the opponents were crazy, the only viable explanation is that these people had the utmost confidence in their own battle strength, even those in their party behind them had the same level of confidence towards the two warriors.

Undoubtedly, these four people were all champion players!

Someone mentioned this possibility when they first saw them, looks like he was right!

In this blasted Angel Faction party, there was not only a Tier 5 Miniboss summon, more importantly there were a few strong Field Commander level champion players.

Not only that, they still had no clue how the other party detected their presence…

Brother Kai’s frown deepened.

‘Looks like these two are not the only oncoming attackers!

‘This is going to be tricky…’

As he was deep in thought, the battle between his twenty-odd numbers comrades and the two Field Commander ranking Terramancer and Aquamancer had begun!

Elementalism! As expected!

The moment the two sides clashed, the Terramancer displayed superb Elementalism skills. Earthramparts were cast strategically right in front of the Elementalists and Bowmasters, blocking any possible threat of them using their skills from afar.

Snowleaf’s Cryospider was starting to move, its eight limbs carried it nimbly and swiftly towards the enemy while blasting cold breaths with frost bullets. The ones who were up against the Demon Faction’s twenty-ish people were no longer only the two people.

Besides, these Demon Faction players still had no clue whatsoever that the very enemies they were up against on the front lines were the strongest players.

“Light Control!”

With all these thoughts swirling in their minds, a loud yell came from the other side…

Snowleaf and Black Rock were clueless as to what was happening when a blinding light came from the opposing end where the battle was taking place, a flaring beam was instantly shot directly towards them! It was as if a mini sun exploded right before their eyes and blinded them.

“Shit!”

Black Rock and Snowleaf panicked at this turn of events but they were able to quickly take protective measures against whatever was to come.

Earthrampart!

A two-meter-tall Earthrampart was cast right in front of them, blocking the terrifying blinding light! Snowleaf’s Cryospider then lunged itself at the nearest Demon Faction warrior…

Boom!!!

Green turbid liquid gushed out, splashing all over the nearby players’ faces—as for the unlucky one who was caught right in the middle, his face became unrecognizable with his body splayed out on one of the tombstones.

The Elementalist who displayed the Light Element magic skills laughed as he shouted at his comrades to fight head on. He continued controlling the light ball that was like a mini sun, directing it toward the Earthrampart and bravely closing in on it.

‘Hmph! Who cares if you are fully equipped with Dark Gold equipment? So what if you have champion abilities? When I do something unexpected like this, wouldn’t it be game over for all of you?’

The Solarmancer was feeling full of himself. When the group of more than ten Bowmasters and warriors were throwing themselves into the battle, they were suddenly petrified in place—their whole bodies rapidly turned stone gray like a sculpture. He was startled at this bizarre scene, when just a few meters from those petrified on the Earthrampart, came a warning holler from the Bowmaster and Zephyr Swordmaster Brother Kai, “Watch out! Above you!”

With this sudden warning, the group of people who had barely started shaking off the petrification effect quickly lifted their heads…

A transparent Aquarampart!

One, two, three… Three of them appeared right above their heads.

There was not even the slightest chance for them to react, as a chilly sleet ran over the Aquarampart above them making it instantly frozen! Without any delay and premonition, it shattered into pieces right over their heads!

***

“No!”

When the ice shattered, Brother Kai howled with such extreme rage. The Bowmaster and Brother Kai who had a nagging feeling of uneasiness right from the beginning were standing some distance behind the group, witnessing the unfolding bloodbath.

Also at that very moment, they suddenly saw an Elementalist emanating a hidden red glow standing in the middle of their comrades. It was like watching a 90’s Hong Kong horror movie, as he seemed to appear out of nowhere, sending a chill running through their spines.

***

“Retreat!”

The scene of their comrades’ death kept replaying itself over and over again, needless to say, Brother Kai and the Bowmaster were extremely livid. However, they also felt this newfound fear and panic overcome them, so much so that they sprinted off without a second thought.

It was right when the two of them turned and started running for their lives, the Zephyr Swordmaster felt something slit his throat, which was followed by a heavy spurt of warm liquid gushing out of the seemingly painless slit on his neck…

With the horrified wail that came from right next to him, came his loss of consciousness.
